I always do a preliminary assessment of the condition of the set, by just replacing the obvious defective parts and checking the CRT.
A schematic is generally needed and makes it easier. I don't do wholesale changing of parts until I know what's involved. I still do it in stages.
Motorola made about three years of this chassis. They were always easy to get going, but that was when they were less than 10 years old.

The Crt is a rebuilt 17HP4 and it checks way into the green and has 10 original tubes and 6 replacements, so this set is sorta kinda low hour.

This set was made August 1954
